Since then, life has taken him all over the world—from years in vocational ministry and carpentry to releasing multiple albums of original music. Along the way, he even met his wife while serving in New York City during post-9/11 relief efforts, a story that beautifully reflects a life of faith in action. (Apple Music - Web Player⁠)\n🎸 In this conversation, Tennison shares why following Jesus isn’t just a Sunday morning activity—it’s a lifestyle of surrender. From his time in YWAM Discipleship Training School, ministry, Jamaica, and worship leading, he explains how God often uses stepping stones, unexpected seasons, and even the death of our own dreams to shape us into who He created us to be.\n🎵 As a songwriter, Tennison believes lyrics matter. Every song begins with the message first, because great songwriting has the power to convey truth, challenge our thinking, and point people toward Jesus. We also dive into his musical influences, the creative process, and why marrying “a girl who sings” and having an artist for a wife has been one of God’s greatest blessings in his life.\n❤️ This episode is a powerful reminder to confront the hard questions, dig deeper into church history, and pursue authentic discipleship. Tennison’s passion for Jesus, music, and living a surrendered life shines through every story. If you’ve ever wrestled with purpose, creativity, or what it truly means to follow Christ, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to keep writing, keep growing, and keep saying “yes” to Him.\nTo connect with Tennison and his music, go to: https://www.tennisonmusic.com/\n\n#Jesusfollower #disciple #highhorse #signersongwriter #conversationswithbuddy\n🙏 Subscribe to Conversations with Buddy for more conversations that inspire faith, leadership, and impact.\nThe Gospel is “good news”… The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4, “For I delivered to you as of...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oxFqe0AJP5S7qrhkdAltuVa8mFSqDbYbj8eGzi5h_mM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMyODkxLzE2NjAw/OTQ2NDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
